Please rank Ohio cities (Columbus, Cleveland: universities, moving, manufacturing)

[hillside]

cincinnati's climate is humid subtropical. cleveland and cincy have very different climates. it's still northern, cold with bad weather but the summers are more virginia and kentucky than ohio.

One more thing I forgot. A few people kept repeating that Dayton was an hour from Indianapolis. This is not true, unless you're driving 120 miles per hour. It's more like an hour and a half to two hours, depending on how fast you're actually driving.

For the most part I agree with you but that's from city center to city center. From the northwestern most outskirts of the Dayton region or Miami Valley as we call it to the eastern most outskirts of Indianapolis it's just over an hour. And if you factor in the average speeds on this stretch of I70 which is 75 mph you can make to Indianapolis in an hour and not drive 120mph to do it.

Should we factor in the ridiculous, random traffic jams that occur just west of what I call "RV alley," too?

I'm not sure what area you're talking about?
I drove that route dozens of time a year for several years and never once ran into traffic jams caused by large quantities of RV's.

No, no, it has nothing to do with actual RVs. The area I'm talking about is west of all those RV dealerships. Driving in that area certain times a day (not necessarily rush hour) there seem to be crazy traffic slowdowns.

Anyways, I still don't think that Dayton to Indy is a legitimate one hour drive. Maybe far west Dayton suburbs to far east Indy suburbs, but that's even a stretch.

It seems like either Scottie didnt read my comment disproving him, or he just doesnt want to admit that he was wrong. (If you want to see what Im talking about go back a few pages in this thread).

Scottie said that weather around Cleveland is a LOT worse and colder than Columbus and I disproved what he said in a post on here like two months ago, on average Elyria is only 1 degree colder than Columbus. Also he said the record temperature for Cleveland in September was like 92 degrees...its actually around 102 degrees.

And he said we never have 90 degree (or anywhere near 90 degree) days in May or October when I said we had ones 88+ in May and October, I have just found proof right here from Cleveland.com "..., since it hit 88 degrees on Oct. 8." right there is the proof that we have near 90 degree days in October. Also on all the climate zone maps that I saw, Cleveland in Cincinnati are in the same climate zone, just most the times Cincinnati is on the southern part of it (I think its humid continental, but Cincinnati is just north of the Humid subtropical zone).

Having lived in Toledo all my life except for this past year in Akron I can agree with that statement.

LOL. No way in hell is Cincinnati's climate "subtropical". India - with its monsoons, and average temp of 80 - is subtropical. Florida, and maybe some parts of East Texas, are subtropical. Cincinnati is not subtropical.

What?! You mean with -5º thru -10º wind chill during winter, we don't fall into the "subtropical" range???
